Build a wilderness foothold while maintaining food, water, and protection against harsh climates. Mysterious masks let you possess recruited tribespeople, connecting personal survival to an expanding workforce rather than leaving all physical needs to off-screen colonists.
Gather, hunt, farm, and construct settlements ranging from thatch huts to fortified towns. Assign tribespeople to harvesting, crafting, logistics, and production, then use their talents and combat abilities to explore ruins and fight hostile groups. Survival, Tribe, and Warrior playstyles emphasize different activities, with extensive custom settings controlling the pressure. Shifting Sands adds a separately sold Egyptian realm and airship bases rather than making those facilities part of every base-game purchase.
Available as a paid Windows game with solo, online co-op, online PvP, and LAN play. Version 1.0 released in April 2026. The developer currently recommends keyboard and mouse; fuller controller and Steam Deck support remain described as development targets. The linked official 1.0 trailer also promotes Shifting Sands, so its DLC footage is not a guarantee of base-game content.
